At The Flea Market

Last weekend, as I told you before, the weather was gorgeous. It was a bit cold early in the morning when we (the hubs and me), headed to our community flea market. We usually walk, but this time we drove to get there. It was the first one to be held this year, so I was pretty excited to walk around looking for those special finds!

There were not as many vendors as usual but nonetheless we managed to come back home with some treasures.

My husband liked these binoculars, he was looking for vintage cameras, but there were none. I love the binoculars leather case and my kids thought they were very "cool". The price $5.

I'm growing my stash of silver pieces, the one with the rounded shape and little feet is my favorite so far. It's price $3.
A little research on the other one gave me an Ebay copy cat: "The White Horse Scotch Pewter Jug Liquor Pitcher" it sells there for $35, more than what we payed for all of our finds. My pitcher was only $2.

Two silver vases, not crazy about the color but they might come in handy for photo sessions! $2 each.

A set of picture frames that were not in great condition.

But I liked their summer feel, hmmm maybe because of the dolphin :) Well, for only a dollar for both of them, what's not to like!

The first find of the day was this basket/tray, I loved the chunky feel, the materials, at first I didn't like the color.

Last but not least a pair of router bits. The biggest expense, $10 for both! If I get them at the store the price will be way higher than that.

Something else that we came home with was this vibrant chair, it was picked from the curb! I need to check what kind of damage it has and if it's something is worth fixing, just looking at it makes me smile.

Those were all our finds. We were thinking on spending only $20, we ended up paying $28. The router bits were the ones who set us backwards, but hey I know it's a good buy!

How about you?! Have you attended a flea market this year, are my prices comparable with the ones in your area? What's your greatest find so far?

Amazing finds, I know I am all about home decor but those binoculars and the leather case make me so jealous! I hit the flea markets earlier in March, but the offer was very skim and sad... perhaps I need to try again this weekend :)

I'm so jealous Cristina! All your finds are truly great bargains and beautiful. I love the silver pieces as well. The only shopping I've been too lately was indoors, at JCP, will share it next week. ;-)

Great buys! Here in CT it's not consistently warm enough for tag sale season (except spontaneous It's Warm!! tag sales. We don't have flea markets in our area anymore :-(. We did see in a regional newspaper one is opening indoors near us. Can't wait!!Janet

Oh, mercy, no! You definitely have the best prices where you are! Can I come visit?? LOL You found some fabulous things and the chair reminded me of a find of mine, years ago! Same thing. Found it on the curb for free! And it stayed in my back yard until it was time to say enough with all the damage it was getting from being outdoors. It did make such a charming area to gaze out from the kitchen window, though!

Those are some great finds Cristina, especially the router bits! The binoculars remind me of a set we used to have when I was a kid. I'm sure we'll be seeing some of those items again in new and fun ways.

Great finds! I just love looking for treasures and coming home with some! Also LOVE your Annie Sloan transformation...couldn't see a way to comment, but you did an amazing job!Hope you'll come share at Amaze Me Monday!!!Blessings,Cindy

Oh good grief, I love every one of your finds, how fabulous are they. The silver is amazing and I love binoculars. That chair is a treasure too. Good for you. Thanks for joining Inspire Me. Hugs, Marty
